This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

Hunt for Buried Civil War Gold in Pennsylvania
From the March 17, 2018, Aol "The FBI is overseeing a hunt for buried Civil War gold in Pennsylvania" Jake Jones.
In Pennsylvania, a treasure hunting group called Finders Keepers are excavating a site in Elk County where there is a legend that 26 gold bars were lost by Union forces in 1863 when the convoy was ambushed and the gold buried.
This "stash" would be worth $27 million in today's money. The treasure-hunters are accompanied by the FBI and the Department of Conservation and Natural resources.
